This book is such an incredibly difficult book to process and yet an important read to contextualize modern history. Tim Tyson's book "Blood Done Sign My Name" was such a gripping and heartbreaking book for me when I read it as a sophomore in college. This book was poignant and gut-wrenching and critical to understanding the past and how it impacts our current realities in the country.
